🎬 Summer Internship Spotlight |
This summer, interned in-house at AMC Networks, and she’s had an unforgettable experience at the heart of the media and entertainment world!

Alexis rotated through brand integration and production deals to corporate compliance and multi-million dollar mergers, allowing her to get a feel for all the different ways the law shows up behind the scenes.

💡 Her favorite part? Helping shape AMC’s approach to artificial intelligence and seeing how legal teams can be both strategic and creative.

“What makes AMC different is how much they value innovation. The attorneys here aren’t just following the rules—they’re helping push the company forward in really creative ways. It’s been amazing to be part of that!”
